It's been eleven years since we last heard a brand new studio album!
Splitting in 2006, the Armenian-American heavy metal band stopped producing music, but got together for a reunion tour in 2010. The news of a new album means that more touring will take place in the new year, and who knows, maybe more record ideas!
The musicians - comprised of Serj Tankian, Shavo Odadjian, Daron Malakian, and John Dolmayan - announced that they will be embarking on a European tour in June. So far, S.O.D have France, Spain, Poland, and the Czech Republic on the list. They are also going to headline the 2017 Download Festival in England, where musicians Biffy Clyro and Aerosmith will also play.

The new album will have 15-songs, of which John comments, "Our playing ability is better than it ever has been and we're trying new things. We're not trying to make 'Toxicity Part II', just because it was by far our biggest album. This needs to be something for a new generation of SOAD fans, so everyone can see we're not resting on our laurels. I'm not gonna put my name on an album I'm not 100 percent proud of.''
